Is it possible to create a file allowing to listen to a web radio station via VLC or Clementine?

[Joel Roth]

Hi Bas,

Sorry for top-posting, but this is short. I'll suggest
installing mpv as a work-around. This works:

mpv --playlist=http://www.radioswissjazz.ch/live/mp3.m3u

I used to use VLC for this. Sad.
